Red face 22R series coolant system bleeding

Not sure if it is me but for one reason or another I was draining the coolant.

I have found the easiest way to solve the bleeding problem is to put a 5/8" flushing tee in the heater hose .

This is the highest point in the cooling system.

Remove the cap of the tee

fill with coolant most all the air is pushed out.

Since I started doing this no more air pocket issues.

You can use the plastic tees had at any autoparts stores or get fancy and make your own out of Aluminum or stainless.

I will take some pictures when it gets light out
